Anyone know of a nroff clone for MS-DOS or CP/M machines? I have a friend who has access to both of these machines and would like to use nroff. Public domain would be nice. Thanks in advance. AT&T Bell Laboratories David A. Roth Columbus, Ohio uucp: cbosgd!cblpf!dar

Elan Software makes an excelent WWB product, including
ditroff and some drivers. Don't have the paper address,
but their net machine is ihnp4!chinet!steinmetz!elan.
Super product and support!

He has decided to go with one that is public domain first and see how that works out before diving into the commericals ones. David

It can be ordered from a California publishing house and includes the complete source. The claim is that it has full macro capability and comes with -ms. I have not used the package but plan on getting it eventually. I hope this helps. Standard disclaimer Steve Monett spm@edison.GE.COM

Doctor Dobb's Journal has Alan Holub's "nr" available for $29.95. I've just received it, and haven't had a chance to really test it, but it seems like a reasonable implementation of nroff. It comes with a version of the "ms" macros, but again I haven't extensively tested them. For more details, see the last three months issues of DDJ. By the way, "nr" is for MS-DOS machines.

There was a series articles detailing an nroff imitator for (I think) MSDOS. Program is available from the publisher at some low price (I don't remember, since I wasn't interested, but I would guess ~$50). Includes source code, I think.
